Enforcement Division: Enforcement Litigation Docket System, 1978-[ongoing].

The Enforcement Litigation Docket System is a computerized management information system that contains pertinent information about enforcement actions initiated against facilities and individuals violating environmental regulations. SCOPE- The system contains all civil and non-civil actions initiated against major deadline violators of the Clean Air and Water Acts and all other civil and criminal actions taken by the agency except administrative civil actions taken under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and actions pertaining to oil spills under the Clean Water Act administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Docket System was initially established to manage information relating to the Major Source Enforcement Effort, begun in 1978, and intended to identify major facilities in violation of the 1977 amendments to the Clean Air and Water Acts. Additional information, however, was added which makes the system the repository of information for all civil and criminal enforcement actions taken by the EPA except those covered by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and those administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. It collects data on the location of the violating facility, type of industry, facility and parent company names; enforcement action information including case number, emission/effluent code, attorney and judge identifiers, law violated; and data on the result of the action such as date and type of settlement.
